Game shows, whether on the radio or television, are a grab-bag of trivia, puzzles, games and prizes. The first ones aired in the late 1930s and quickly became a weekly addiction for families around the world. On February 12, head to Shelton’s Little Creek Casino Resort to celebrate America’s Greatest Game Shows hosted by the one and only Erik Estrada.
Early versions started as quiz shows based on obscure knowledge and random information. But in the 1960s, panel games, usually with celebrities galore, took the lead. For the last several decades, there are game shows for every taste and nearly everyone has their favorite. The Price is Right began in 1956, Jeopardy started in 1964, and Wheel of Fortune kicked off in 1975. They’ve made household names of Vanna White, Pat Sajak, Bob Barker and Alex Trebek. Even IBM’s Watson the computer took a turn on the winner’s podium.
Erik Estrada, however, also needs no introduction. He’s appeared on both stage and screen—big screen and small—since 1970. When not acting, he’s partnered with many charities that combat internet predators, poverty, and violence, as well as organizations that benefit the families of fallen police officers.
But he’s not the only showbiz great on the cast. The backstage producer is none other than Manny Davis, the youngest son of iconic Sammy Davis Jr. An actor, author, musician, dancer, and administrator of his father’s estate, Davis makes delightful cameos throughout the show.
The show’s Executive Producer, Jimmy Richards, founded the Game Show Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. He has also partnered with Ray Charles, worked hard to keep the White Sox in Chicago, and is active with the Illinois Special Olympics. Game shows are his true passion and over a long career he’s worked with Chuck Woolery, Jamie Farr, Bob Eubanks and many others from the industry.
America’s Greatest Game Shows hits town in February to play slightly twisted versions of well-known games. Tickets to the show will be awarded all January long via drawings, promotions and games at Little Creek Casino Resort. “All promotional winners for the month will win two tickets to the live event,” says Jennifer Brines, promotions coordinator for Resort. “You can also win tickets for hotel stays and jackpot wins.
